asked in Eurail & Interrail Passes

Vienna to Paris with stops in Salzburg and Zurich

Hi Was 25 Oct . I was a bit long winded but have cut and paste I finally managed to reserve seats for the TGV Lyria Zurich to Paris through the app but not sure if it linked through the website thus avoiding the apps effort to find a timetable. Is that how it works? Either way it did not populate the app with the trip. Are there lots of glitches using the app? As I have now reserved 2 trips through ÖBB, and with Eurostar direct I have to add each manually which populates the planner. However each time I go back into the app they in a random way disappeared off some or all of my family’s passes. I have stopped short of activating the pass with my passport but would that be the issue?

I rang on the link recommended to book TGV Lyria. Zurich to Paris Gare de Lyon. They don’t accept Visa. Only Amex which I don’t have. And recommended Europe Rail to book seats which I also had trouble with them recognising Eurail. Could only purchase tickets not reserve them. I also tried DB online for 29th Dec 11am for 4 people and it is telling no reservations available which I hope it doesn’t mean they are booked out? Is this possible?

Hi Guys , Richard again. I am waiting patiently for timetables for Salzburg Zurich and Zurich Paris. If you could confirm they are still not available for 28 & 29th December 2023. I was about to reserve tickets on Salzburg Zurich and for 4 of us, 2 adults , an 18 yr old & 13 yr old it seemed expensive at 140 euro for us all considering I have a Eurail pass already and chose reservation option only through the ÖBB app. Am I doing something wrong?Can you help? Many thanks Richard

Hi , I am still waiting patiently for the time tables to appear for Salzburg Zürich on the 28th Dec and Zurich Paris 29th Dec in the Eurail Planner., We are wanting a high speed direct train. I am worried the app is not working correctly as it shows me nothing running. The Rail Ninja site seems to be able to display the timetable and provide options for advance bookings but Eurail cannot. Is that to be expected? Is there another way of reserving tickets. Open to suggestions. Kind regards RichardSydney Australia

Home country. Does a connection count as an additional outbound journey?

Hello! My home country is the UK. If I buy the global pass, can I travel from Liverpool to Paris, then Paris back to Liverpool? I’m aware there will be a €36 charge for my seat reservation. But, just wanted to check if the above is ok? I seen somewhere that you’re allowed one outbound journey with the global pass. I will be changing at London though, so will Liverpool to Paris count as one outbound journey? Or will it be counted as two (Liverpool → London → Paris). Thanks for your help!

Thank you , we have bought the Eurail global pass already. I have paid for reservation through ÖBB stating that I already had a ticket. That was Vienna to Salzburg. The site did not ask for any details pass number however. Interesting I tried the next leg Salzburg to Zurich and did not give me the option. It is on the RJX 368. Am I missing something? Am I being impatient and should I wait until the timetable is available through the Eurail pass. regardsRichard

Thanks for your advice. I was wondering how quickly tickets / reservations run out for the TGV Lyria using the eurail pass? Do need to activitate the Eurail pass with the Passport information to reserve tickets. As I am booking for 4 seats together for the family it would be a pity if we cannot sit together. I cannot seem to reserve tickets through SNCF. There does not appear to be any option to use the eurail pass codes on the SNCF Connect site which there was with the Eurostar. Many thanksRichard

Could you also help with another question? It would appear the TGV-Lyria from Zurich to Paris on 29th December i cannot book through Eurail but it would appear I cannot reserve the tickets either without purchasing the tickets directly It does not appear on the Eurail list of partners. I may have misread this however is this not an option for Eurail Global pass holders?

I have tickets already though Eurail so don’t want to pay twice. Can I do reservations direct with OBB using my Eurail pass?

Hi, as the timetables through Eurail for Vienna-Salzburg are not available i have notice they are on the OBB website. Am I am able to reserve seats directly with OBB without paying for tickets? Dates of travel are 26 Dec through to 29th Dec. It is quoting for the tickets however have paid for already my Eurail Pass already. I have not gone through the purchase yet but have downloaded the OBB app.

I have purchased and reserved our tickets , family of 4 on the Eurostar through B-Europe using our Eurail pass but looks I booked the wrong day 2nd Jan not 3rd. Is there a cost to change this for the following day? The site is showing a full cost for new tickets. Regards Richard

Thanks so much. We purchased our global Eurail pass and paid for our reservation through b-line for the Eurostar using The Eurail ticket codes? Is that all we need to do at this point? Do we need to activate the Eurail pass or the travel day in any way. Also can you help are the baggage limits on the Eurostar and other trains in Austria and the UK. thanks again for all your helpregardsRichard

which lines do we need to make reservations for travelling Dec 2023 - Jan 2024

I assume b-rail is the booking agent for the euro star? It would appear the cost for 4 of us is $120 Euro in addition to the Eurail pass at our preferred time . Does that sound correct? And same booking fee for adult or youth?

Thanks so much to the Eurail community for your help so far. I am sure I will reach out again and from Australia first time travelling to Europe during winter and at Christmas with family is going to be an adventure. Richard

Is there a risk if we buy the Eurail pass in the next couple of weeks that we could miss out on our preferred day and time of travel ie 11 am on 2nd Jan?. How do we know if 4 seats are available before we buy the Eurail pass? Regards Richard
